Electrical Power-Any ideas?
I have my motor home plugged into 30 amp in my driveway.
The power does not come on until I start my engine
Stays on a while, good power, then I go back out 30 minutes
later no power. I start the engine , good power, then same
thing happens. Any ideas?

I assume you mean your 120 volt power. Have you checked your 120 volt breakers? If it is your 12 volt system your Converter is not working, either the 120 volt breaker is tripped or maybe the converter is bad. The converter has internal fuses that also could be blown.

When you say power, are you talking about 12vdc or 110vac?

No obvious answer here.
It would be helpful to have more information on what coach you have, and any other circumstances regarding this error.

Per his profile, he has a 2004 Allegro Bay MH. Still, it is unclear about the electrical problem.

I'm not sure what power he is talking about 110 or 12v.

Welcome to irv2.
Have you got your battery cut off switch on for your house batteries.
Your drawing power off your alternator when you engine is running.
In order for 12v lights to light you need BCO on.
Check this link out.
